The 'Supervisor password' which Paul is referring to,is located in the Internet Options. Click the 'Content Tab' and under the heading 'Content Advisor' click the 'Enable button.' Now click the 'General Tab.'

Lo & behold thee,is the
'Supervisor Password feature'

Dear Mr Paul,
Im sure you can disable this feature using 'Policy Editor'.

My first query is why you want to disable the content advisor? I am not sure if I should be providing this information but I trust that it is your own system and you have a valid reason.

You are correct in saying that it can be disabled via the registry. From the Start menu click on Run, type Regedit and press OK. Navigate to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Ratings] and delete the entry 'Key'=... When you restart IE you will by able to modify the content advisor settings without entering a password.
